IDSc PREVIEW 2012
This session will be delivered by Angela Cobbold, pathway/course leader FdSc decontamination science, from Anglia Ruskin University.
The programme on Tuesday 27 November will start with the IDSc AGM. All members are encouraged to attend. The morning session will cover how the use of IT systems can enable sterile services to achieve efficiencies and savings. In the current climate, in which healthcare providers are facing immense pressure to achieve significant financial savings, there will be a great deal of interest in how such technology can contribute towards achieving this aim, while improving service delivery. Roger Darlington, regional account manager, Magellan Technology, and Tig
Miller, managing director, Fingerprint Medical, will both contribute to a session on using modern tracking systems on loan equipment and introducing new systems into multi-site decontamination units. To complete the day there will be a session on the ‘human error factor’ and its implications for the decontamination process and the staff involved. The afternoon session will start with a
presentation on the educational research study surrounding individual expectations and educational needs of decontamination technicians based in the UK, identifying and exploring any perceived barriers.
‘The IDSc embraces the challenges faced in helping to reduce the risks of infection and is committed in ensuring the provision of competent staff that can meet the technical and operational challenges of medical device decontamination.’
Solutions to maximise storage
Testing cleanliness A session on new developments in testing the cleanliness of a medical device will be given by David Perrett and Dr NK Nayuni, from the John Vane Science Centre, William Harvey Research Institute, St Bartholomew’s & the London School of Medicine & Dentistry. Wednesday morning will bring a series
of five short presentations from companies supplying products and services to decontamination departments and the conference will be rounded off with a return to the popular ‘Q&A session’ giving delegates the opportunity to address key issues and questions relating to decontamination. The conference is also accompanied by
an exhibition showcasing the latest innovations and services, designed to assist and improve the delivery of decontamination services. An overview of some of the solutions on show is included in this issue.
